Human Rights, Exam Task February the 7th

Human rights are rules and principles that describe certain standards of human behaviour and are important all around the world. The right to Education, human trafficking and the right about freedom of thought, conscience and religion are three human rights that are considered in this text.

Everyone should have the opportunity and right to education, simple as that. 

Education is the basis for your future career and your future in general. 

If we take Norway as an example, there is no doubt that people in my school underestimate

the power of education meanwhile the ones that need or want it the most, does not even have 

the chance. The message of the picture is that we shouuld be aware of the life of other 

children around world. Using children in the picture makes the impression worse,

you feel bad for the poor children. Even if the three boys in the picture have books, 

they do not have a desk which shows how much better the rich countries have it in school. 

The pitcure has an effective message because of the little girl with a sad facial expression, 

but also because of the litte boys who sits with a book in each of their laps and not on a 

schooldesk. In my opinion children affect our reaction in a deeper way than if there were 

grown ups in the picture. Also that the people in the picture are colored shows us that 

they are not from Norway or any other scandinavian country, which sets an emotional 

image of what it is like outside our own country. 

The importance of the human right about slavery and slave trades being prohibited is huge. It is both disrespectful and cruel towards other human beings. Admittedly slavery still happens even though there is a human right that says it should not, but the right is still important. How would you feel if you were enslaved in forced labor slavery or sex slavery?

The picture consists of four smaller pictures and describes how hurtful slavery can be, both physically and mentally. In my opinion this picture shows any worst-case scenario to express the seriousness of the issue. Any shape of slavery is wrong and the picture proves that. The picture also sends a message because of the negativity and depression of the pictures.

The dark colours in the picture, sends an effective message about how negative and awful the issue is. The four smaller pictures in the big picture consist of; one with a child held against its own will, one where the picture only shows some skin with stings in it which demonstrates the slavery of organ removal, one where there are two hands tied together as a symbol of labor slavery and lastly there are a picture of a woman who stands in the dark with an insecure expression on her face, which stands for sex slavery.

Lastly there is the human right; everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. We all should have the right to speak our mind both in action and silent. The fact that it is a human right is mostly important because it sets an image of how serious it actually is.

It seems the picture shows a protest about whether Edward Snowden did the right thing or not. Some of the text on the posters in the picture is written in Chinese so I cannot understand them very well, but I am sure it is relevant for the Edward Snowden case. The message in the picture would be that you should tell your mind and stand by it.

The picture sends such an effective message because of the fact that people in the picture actually speaks their mind in public about another man, who has gotten in trouble for sharing some things that he thought was the right thing to share.

In conclusion every human right has its importance and we should all cherish and follow them although different human rights are naturally more important in some countries than in others. Does the human rights make a difference in the world? Of course they make a difference if everyone obeyed them, but even though we have those rules and principles, some people often do the opposite of them.
